Specification of Letters Patent.

, Patented April Application led February 4, 1907. Serial No. 355,569.-

10 sists of means for throwing into and out of o eration heatingT units, whereby the supply o heat lscontrolled.

It further consists olla series. of radiator sections, forming a single radiator, which sections can be seps'trately'controlled.'y

It further consists of other novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure 1 representsa )artial elevation and partial sectionalv view o a radiator embodying my invention, showing the saine as broken in order to indicate that the radiator can he of any desired length. Fig. 2 representsa sectional view taken in a different angle. from that in F ig. Fig. 3 represents r slightly different form of construction. Fig. 4 is a vertical section similar to Fig 2, of the form shown in Fie' 3 Similar numerals of reference indicatecor-- reslponlling parts in the iigures.

eferring to the drawings :-In radiators now in use, I have found in practice, that it is impossible to regulate. the heat and that in consequence when the radiator is'tur'ned on, 3.5 the weather being mild, the heat given oliis too great, but when severe cold weather sets in, the radiating surface provided is not sufficient to properly heat the room in which the radiator is situated. In other words, it is 40 impossible with the heat radiatingr surface given to properly heat a room in very cold weather and yet in medium weather it is not .possible to keep down the heat.

The purpose of my invention is to overcome these defects and' in carrying out the same I connect a plurality of' heat units or heat radiating surfaces in such a manner that I can cut out or throw into operation the desired number, so that the .amount of heat is controlled, the heating medium being admitted into the upper or the lower section, as .found most expedient.v

In the drawings I have shown certain forms for carrying out my invention, but I do not desire to he limited to the construction as herein shown and described", as' I vrnayjarfrange the parts differently andfemplo 1 other` instrumentalities A which will 'accomp ish the same results. i 1 and 2. designate sections of la radiator 6o which areformed of columns 3 and which sections are mounted one abovegthe other'and suitably connected together. .Said sections may be of any number and vany height or size, y, it being understood that each section is 'sepac5 rate and independent eXce ting -`as hereinafter described. In Fig. 1I ave shown each. v column as formed in one piece'with the sepa'- 'ratin' wall 4 therebetween-forming the upper and owe' separate sections. In, order to' "7o supply the heating medium, I provide a supply plpe 5 leading from asuitable 'source 'of supply and from which leadbranches 6 'and S in the present instance'designate's a Atwowav valve of well known-form-whicligontrols the branches 6 and 7, yit being notedtha't the branch 6 communicates withythe interior of the section 1 while the branch 7 communi'- cates 'with the interior ot-,the section2,'the valve being so arranged that by properly turning the same, the branch 'only isopcned so that a heatin medium frornthe supply pi e 5 is directe into the section 1 wit out a ecting section 2. If the heat'is not sufficient from the section 1 by the proper manip- 85 ula-tion of the valve 8, the branch 7 will also be opened to the supply pipe 5 so that the heating medium4 therefrom can pass through the branch 7 and to the section 2, thus' rod viding additional hf ting surface, as W 'be 90 understood.

9 designates the main discharge pipe .to which lead the branches 1() and 11, the former dommunicating with the interior of section 1 and the latter with the interior of the 95 section 2, a suitable two-way valve 12 of Well known construction being provided for controlling said branches and 'said valve is adapt-ed to be operated so that the discharge from the sectionl can ass into the exhaust 9 when section 2 is not 1n o eration, but that when the said section 2- is a so supplied to the heating medium,- the valve 12 can vbe so turned that both the branches 10 and 11 are in communication with the exhaust pipe 9, so

p' if necessary, all sectionscan be'thrown into o eration. `It will be I iurtl'ier understood t at any number!` of sectlons can be connected 1n such a manner that one or 'more may be thrown into or out ol operation, it only being -v necessary @o suitably control the same.

' In 3 and 4 I have shown radiator sections 1 and 2 formed of the columns 3, which sections are mounted one above the other, and are suitably connected, but 1n lleu of v connecting the up er section with the branchl from the supply have formed a communication 13 between the oWer and u' sage or communication ltr-between the intedr' other suitab can'be cut' ofolne fromthe other or connect-` upper sections in one oi the columns B, in the present instance, in the lrst column and said passage 13l control by means of a suitable valve 14, and operated by the hand-Wheel 15 e means so that the sections ed `as desired, and I also provide another pasrior of the sections at the opposite end of the radiator sectionsor the discharge, said passage or communication 16 being controlled by a valve 17 operated'by a handle 18 or other suitable means, it beine noticed that `the separating Walls 4 are employed between are also thrown into operation, it being understood that-the valve 17 is likewise operat'ed to permit the discharge 'reaching the dischar e pipe 9, by passing into the section 1 and t ence through the pipe 10 and valve 12, which has previously been properly operated therefor.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new and 4desire to secure by Let* ters Patent, is

1. Al radiatorformed ol a plurality of vertically-disposed sections or columns each partitioned, forming upper and lower conipartments, combined with means for independently vvcrn'ing the How ofheating agent to said upper and lower compartments respectively. p f

2. A radiator formed eta plurality of vertically-disposcd inter-comniunicating radiator sections or columns each partitioned, forming upper and lower compartments, combined with means disposed in said parlitions for controllingY connnunication between. the upper and lower rmnpartments.

3. A radiator formed oi'l a plurality ol' vcrtically-disposed inter-communicaling radiator sections or columns ear/li partitioned, forming upper and lower co-mpartnicnts, 'a

supply pipe connected -with the lower section; rncans-d1sposed in sald partltlons lor controlling the liow of the heating agent to the up: per compartments, and a discharge pipe connected with the radiator.

4. A radiator formed of aplurality of rertically-dis )osed intercommunicating sec,- tions or collumnaeach partitioned, forminpr a vplurality oi compartments, combined willi inesifns l'or ilnlependently governing tlu` ilow of tho heating agent to said plurality vot' com partrhcnts respectively.
